Directed by Neil LaBute
A young interracial couple has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their relationship.

These persistent intrusions into their lives cause the couple to fight back.

What critics compared Lakeview Terrace to
The suburban-insecurity theme also stirs memories of David Fincher's Panic Room, Jonathan Kaplan's Unlawful Entry and even Neil Labute's Lakeview Terrace; the barely concealed bloodlust of the bourgeoisie recalls The Last House on the Left; while the idea of state-sanctioned, carefully contained mayhem was executed on a grander scale in The Hunger Games and Rollerball.
